Pakistan great Wasim Akram said there is no doubt that pace bowler Mohammad Wasim Jr has talent.
Wasim was part of Pakistan’s squad for the T20 World Cup, but didn’t feature in any of the matches the men in green played.
Nonetheless, Akram is confident that the 20-year-old will get plenty of opportunities in the future since he is young and has shown a lot of potential.
“No doubt he is a talented [cricketer],” he told A Sports as quoted by Cricket Pakistan.
Pakistan dominated the group stage, winning all their games, but they suffered a five-wicket loss to Australia in the semi-final and were eliminated from the T20 World Cup.
